Summary: Seeing through the fog is easier said than done. While the alternative media has done a Herculean job of highlighting phenomena that would never have seen the light of day, not everything that comes down the pike is accurate. Conjecture and speculation color the raw data to such a degree that any real objective analysis is hampered by those who screech their unfounded beliefs the loudest. The result of such malfeasance emanating from the dredges of the alternative media is the Carnival of Distractions.
